    Documentation: Improve 'On ideologically motivated changes'
    
    From my previous interactions with the Serenity community, it was clear
    to me that this rule (for better or worse) was introduced by the author
    that wanted to focus on the code and not let an open-source operating
    system project be used as a 'political vehicle' and so as to not have
    to possess a political science degree to operate the project thought to
    be a technical exercise, like building a sandcastle.
    
    For better or worse.
    
    Unfortunately, the wording as-is can be interpreted as a dogwhistle
    in the direction of "keep politics out of tech", which has been present
    in communities like, as of recently, NixOS - and this seems to have
    caused the problems that Serenity has been intentionally trying to
    avoid.
    
    It might also disregard cases of technical arguments, arguments
    involving how people treat each other _within_ the community as well
    as how to change the wording in documentation with the sole intent of
    making the project more attractive to more contributors.
    
    Given recent commits and governance changes, I decided to rewrite the
    rule to make it more clear and encourage people to be "more excellent
    to each other", while not compromising on what I see as the original
    meaning.
